Students meet Dreaming Stories about water, explore how Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples value water Country and Place, and learn how Indigenous Rangers care for waterways today. From Lesson 7 the unit turns to fresh water in Australia: the natural and human features of water environments, how water travels from dam to tap and back again, how households, farms and industries use it, and how urban and rural communities differ. It finishes with sustainable water use at home and school, a class water audit and the Water savers lesson. Every lesson runs on the same clear flow of learning intention, key language, beginning the lesson, core lesson, challenge and concluding reflection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe 16 lessons cover\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCaring for Country\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnowledge of land, water and sky Country\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDreaming Stories\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eValuing Country\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndigenous Ranger Programs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocal water Country\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecreation and leisure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFresh water is collected for use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrom dam to tap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow Australians use fresh water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater use at home\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComparing household water use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUsing water sustainably\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSchool water audit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUrban and rural water usage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater savers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlus four consolidation activities: poster presentations, a water use survey, caring for catchments and caring for water Country.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEach lesson includes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLearning intention and success criteria\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKey language cards with student-friendly definitions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecall and discussion slides to begin the lesson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplicit teaching slides with the unit's picture cards, diagrams, picture graphs, maps and tables on screen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWatch slides with a video still and a one-click link to the video or podcast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheck-for-understanding questions with click-to-reveal answers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumbered student task slides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA challenge task to extend thinking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA concluding reflection and an optional assessment task\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe deck also includes an interactive memory game for the Resource 5 cards, a drag-and-drop cloze passage and a clickable Contents page with Index buttons on every lesson.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePerfect for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStage 1 HSIE, Years 1 and 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCaring for Country, water and sustainability units\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeography lessons on water environments and how people use fresh water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhole-class explicit teaching on the smartboard or interactive whiteboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo-prep lessons and relief or casual cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilding a consistent, sequenced unit across a term\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePlease note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou will need access to the Stage 1 HSIE Unit 8 lesson plans to teach the unit — this PowerPoint supports their delivery and does not replace the teaching guidance, lesson notes or printed resources\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdapted from the NSW Department of Education Stage 1 HSIE Unit 8 sample unit under CC BY 4.0;
